The inhibitory effect of rice(Oryza sartiva L., illpumbyeo) against mutagenicity induced by tryptophan pyrolysates were investigated using Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay. Both methanol extracts of obtained from brown and white rice were found to possess strong activites of inhibiting the mutagenicities of 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyriod[4,3-b]indol(Trp-P-1) and 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol(Trp-P-2) on Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay. As the concentration of methanol extract increased, inhibitory effect on mutagenicity increased but reached at steady state as inhibition rate of 90% when the concentration was above 10mg/plate. There was no significant difference(p>0.05) in inhibitory effect of methanol extracts between brown and white rice against tryptophan pyrolysates.

Aralia elata seeds were successively extracted with water, methanol, ethanol, acetone and chloroform. The crude extracts were investigated for antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. The antioxidant properties of various extracts were evaluated by antioxidant tests, such as DPPH free radical-scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical-scavenging assay, metal-chelating activity, lipid peroxidation inhibition activity and reducing power assay. The 70% methanol extract exhibited the highest activity in the in vitro models of DPPH free radical-scavenging activity, metal-chelating activity, and reducing power assay. Acetone extract showed good effects on lipid peroxidation inhibition and hydroxyl radical-scavenging assay at a low concentration. In addition, the $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibition assay showed that 70% methanol extract had the highest activity. These results indicate the high possibility of using A. elata seeds for medical application due to their efficient antioxidant properties.

Proximate compositions of black rice and antioxidative effects of its methanol extract on refined perilla oil were investigated. Black rice seeds were composed of water 12.4%, crude protein 7.9%, crude fat 2.2%, crude fiber 1.0%, ash 1.4% and N-free extract 75.1%. The hexane and 80% methanol fractions in yields were higher than 80% ethanol and chloroform. In AOM(active oxygen method) test, antioxidative effects of black rice added to the refined perilla oil was increased with dose-dependent fashion in concentration of the black rice extracts. Among several extracts tested, 80% aqueous methanol extract showed the highest antioxidative activity, followed by hexane, chloroform, in that order. The peroxide value and TBA value for their antioxidation stability were also lower than that of control. This result was similar to that of AOM test.

Two popular ethnomedicines of the Onge, a Negrito tribe of Andaman Islands, were evaluated for analgesic and antiinflammatory activity. The methanol extract as well as the different fractions of methanol extract of both Alstonia macrophylla and Mallotus peltatus leaves were studied using Swiss albino mice and Wistar albino rats. Acetic acid induced writhing, Tail flick and Tail immersion; Carrageenin- and Dextran-induced paw oedema tests were used. Dose-dependent analgesic and antiinflammatory activity were demonstrated for both methanol leaf extracts as well as fractions. Results were highly comparable with that of the standard drug pethidine.

The purpose of this study is to research the antimutagenic and antioxidative effects of water dropwort and small water dropwort by Ames test and by measuring malondialdehyde(MDA) production. Water dropwort and small water dropwort were extracted with methanol and then further fractionated to hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol and water, stepwise. The methanol extracts from both samples reduced the mutagenicities by aflatoxin $B_1(AFB_1)$ in Salmonella typhimurium TA 98. The production of MDA also decreased when the methanol extracts were added to the system. The hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions revealed higher antimutagenic activities against $AFB_1$ than the butanol and water fractions. Among the five fractions, the ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest level of antioxidant activity. From the results of the experiment, water dropwort and small water dropwort seem to be good antimutagenic and antioxidative sources of food.

The methanol, dichloromethane, petroleum ether, 90% methanol and 1-butanol fractions of 40 Malaysian medicinal plants belonging to 25 families were tested for brine shrimp lethality. Various parts and fractions of eight (20%) plants, viz. Annona muricata, Cerbera odollam. Calophyllum inophyllum, Entada phaseoloides, Pithecellobium jiringa, Crotolaria retusa, Morinda elliptica and Sellaginella willdenovii showed very strong toxicity $(LC_{50}:$<$100\;ppm)$. The methanol extract of the seed of Calophyllum inophyllum showed exceptionally toxic activity $(LC_{50}:$<$5\;ppm)$.

For the screening of bioactive natural products, the benzene or methanol extracts from 93 medicinal plants of Korea were prepared, and tested for the cytotoxicity against L1210 cells and for the antitumor action (Bae et al., 1992 and 1996). Of 93 extracts tested, 6 samples showed a cytotoxicity in both benzene and methanol extract, 39 samples in benzene and 13 samples in methanol extract. The benzene extract of the root of Scutellaria indica L., Sophora fIavescens Solander ex Aiton, Carpesium abrotanoides L., Gymnaster koraiensis (Nakai) Kitamura, Pyrola japonica Klenze, and Forsythiae Fructus showed a potent cytotoxic activity. This observation led to isolate active cytotoxic components, some of which demonstrated some antitumor action. In addition, the structure-activity relationship was discussed.

항생제 내성균들의 등장으로 새로운 항생제의 개발이 요구되고 있으나 항생제의 개발은 많은 시간과 인력과 개발비를 필요로 한다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법의 하나로 전통적으로 감염질환의 치료에 사용되어온 식물인 황금과 황백 추출물의 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)에 대한 항균활성 보유 여부를 조사하였다. 황금의 메탄올 추출물은 MRSA와 Candida에 대하여 높은 항균 활성을 나타내었으며 황백 추출물보다 활성이 높아 앞으로 새로운 항균제로의 개발 및 사용 가능성이 있을 것으로 보여진다.

This study was conducted to investigate the physiological activity of acai berry (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) extracts from three different solvents (water, methanol, and ethanol). We measured total polyphenol and total flavonoid content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, nitrite scavenging activity, metal chelating effect, and reducing power. The extraction yield from water, methanol, and ethanol was 17.10, 9.50, and 37.51%, respectively. The highest total polyphenol content (10.54 mg/100 g) and total flavonoid contents (1.88 mg/100 g) was observed in water extract. DPPH radical scavenging activity was the highest in both water extract (72.03%) and methanol extract (74.79%) at levels of 5 mg/mL, which was similar to that of BHT (78.90%). Water extract yielded the highest metal chelating effect (92.54%) and reducing power (1.09) at levels of 5 mg/mL. Taken together, these findings suggest that extracts of acai berry can be used as functional food materials with antioxidative and nitrite scavenging activities.

칡 추출물에 감마선을 조사하여 색상 개선, 항산화성 및 항균성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 칡 추출물은 methanol 과 acetone으로 추출하였으며, 감마선은 10, 20 그리고 30 kGy로 조사하였다. 칡 추출물은 감마선 조사 선량이 증가할수록 명도(Hunter color L-value)가 증가하였으며, 적색도(a값) 와 황색도(b값)은 감소하는 경향을 보여줬다. 칡 추출물의 항산화력(TBARS)은 acetone 추출물보다 methanol 추출물이 더 높았다. 전자 공여능 측정 결과는 methanol 추출의 경우 비조사구와 조사구 모두 비슷한 활성을 보여줬으나 acetone 추출의 경우 감소하는 경향을 보여줬다. 칡 추출물의 용매별 및 감마선 조사 선량에 따른 항균효과는 acetone 추출의 경우, B. subtilis, B, natto, B, megaterium, S, aureus, Sal, typhymurium and E coli.등 모든 균주에 대체적으로 높은 항균 활성을 나타냈으나, methanol 추출의 경우에서는 Sal. typhymurium과 E. coli을 제외하고 항균 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 칡 추출물은 30 kGy까지 감마선을 조사했을 때, 추출물의 생리활성이 감소하는 경향은 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 칡 추출물을 감마선 조사 후, 식품 보존제 및 화장품 원료로서 가능성이 있을 것으로 생각된다.
